- Mesdames Krug, Olry-Roederer, Bollinger, and de Nonancourt who managed their Houses while bombs literally fell on their heads or Nazis pillaged their cellars during WWI and WWII.
- The fabulous female growers and owners behind La Transmission and Fa’bulleuses who have joined forces to transmit knowledge and support each other.

Cynthia was full of interesting information about the strong role played by women in the history of making champagne and growing the industry. She clearly knows her material.
I scheduled this program as a last minute private event for a Covid distanced birthday celebration. The staff at Context Conversations was responsive and made it happen for me. Friends from both coasts and in the middle joined and I got wonderful feedback. We loved Cynthia's enthusiasm, knowledge and wit. I will join in again!
So informative and FUN! My second experience with Cynthia C --- she's a wonderful presenter!
